The ASCD Differentiated Instruction Cadre, led by and organized around the work of Carol Ann Tomlinson, helps educators actively plan for students' differences so that all students can best learn. The cadre comprises carefully selected experts who are recommended and further developed by Tomlinson.
Trained in strategies and practices that help teachers divide their time, resources, and efforts to effectively teach all students, cadre members provide customized professional development solutions to educators that enable them to teach students who have various backgrounds, readiness and skill levels, and interests.
